Please join us at Matilda’s Mouse Antiques June 21, 22,23 as we celebrate the birthday of AMERICA!!

It is such a wonderful show with an abundance of vintage treasures from Paris to America in honor of Lady Liberty.

***DID YOU KNOW….***

*The Statue of Liberty was a gift from France to the United States as a token of friendship. It was designed and created by Frederic Auguste Barthodi June 17 1885.

*The head and torch of Statue of Liberty was on display at the Paris World’s Fair.

*Once the Statue was completed is was disassembled into 214 crates and shipped to the United States on June 17 1885.

*There was a problem in the states…the funding for the base was dismissed by the US government twice under Pres. Cleveland

*SO, Joseph Pulitzer of the “WORLD” newspaper decided he would help raise the monies needed for the base of the Statue of Liberty. He helped raised $102,000. That being 120,000 contributors , most of which were under $1.00….School children donated pennies and there was no money what so ever donated by our government!

*The Statue of Liberty was finally dedicated Oct 28, 1886.

*The Statue of Liberty has been closed since Hurricane Sandy and will reopen this July 4th.

***Just interesting tid-bits… History class is now dismissed (grin)…***

Our show at Matilda’s is such a wonderful tribute not only to the Statue, America, but all things 4th of July!! So please join is June 21, 22, 23 from 10 to 5 daily!!

Our Matilda's Mouse Events

I have always loved fixing old things, but it wasn't until my mother passed away in 1999, that I decided I needed a full time distraction..Boy is that the understatment! I, like so may others, live, sleep, dream, of shopping for, fixing up, and finally displaying my new found treasures!
My husband of 40 years is my biggest fan and promoter. He is a champion at letting me fly! I love him for that and so many other reasons. We have three wonderful children...they're all adults, but of course they'll always be our children... Heather, Amy and Dave and six fabulous granchildren. I hope you'll enjoy my blog and all the treasures I find throughout this great country of ours!
